The International Organization of Multiple Sclerosis Nurses (IOMSN) is excited to continue the IOMSN Town Hall Discussions for 2012 - 2013. This program is designed to continue to fulfill the mission of the IOMSN through regular outreach to its membership. The goal of this program is to have a dialogue with MS nurses in large and small MS practices and to sustain their dedication to the fight against MS.
Each month we will be hosting a telephone discussion led by an IOMSN member that will last approximately 15 minutes to be followed by a robust discussion. Each Town Hall session will last no more than one hour and occur on the 2nd MONDAY evening of every month starting at 8pm ET (7pm CT, 6pm MT, 5pm PT).
